Super-easy Halloween craft idea

19 September

Halloween is here again and it’s time to get the house looking suitably spooky. For obvious safety reasons, little ones sit out the pumpkin-carving fun, so here’s a cool craft idea for them to try instead.

This LEGO® DUPLO® DIY ghost and pumpkin are easy to build, plus they double as toys and decorations. They are also cute enough not to freak out any little ones who are new to Halloween.

Of course, there are other benefits to Halloween than crafting – and we’re not just talking about the candy! Halloween celebrates the beginning of autumn and highlights the changing of the seasons. Trick or treating encourages social interaction, manners and a sense of community. It’s a time to make believe and put on different personas. It’s the one day of the year where children can look out of the window and see walking pumpkins and talking cats.

So before the witching hours begin, get building. As with all LEGO DUPLO DIY builds, improvise if you don’t have the exact bricks shown in the video. Frankly, ghosts can be any color going because they’re not real. Right?
